*Edits after reading the topic*
Britain's age of consent is 16. I don't see any problem with that, i myself am 16 and am fully aware of the consequences of sex. I have condoms knocking about somewhere, and don't see any problem with having sex at my age.
Just looking on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Age_of_consent
A lot of the world's age of consent is lower than 16. So i don't see why ours is pointed out as sick?
EDIT: Oh wow, apparently it's 15 for men. But i think this is one of our laws that is enforced in a completely different way to what it states should happen. The information fed to me was a blanket age of Consent of 16, unless in the position of trust thing
Edit the third - Hmm, Interpol says different. I don't know. Confuddling...
